Concerns for wind energy as alternative energy have been highly increased. In this paper, the mechanism between mechanical wind turbine and power generating system is presented to specify the relationship of the energy transfer. Grid-connected DFIG could achieve unity leading power factor, in addition to variable speed operation at the wide sub-synchronous and super-synchronous shaft speed range and also its independent control of torque and reactive power is possible.

Wind farm grid codes require wind generators to ride through voltage sags, which means that normal power production should be re-initiated once the nominal grid voltage has been recovered. Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind farm is gaining popularity these days because of its inherent advantages like variable speed operation and independent controllability of active and reactive power over conventional Induction Generator (IG). This paper proposes a new control strategy using DFIGs for stabilizing a wind farm composed of DFIGs and IGs. Simulation analysis by using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that the DFIGs can effectively stabilize the IGs and hence the entire wind farm through the proposed control scheme by providing sufficient reactive power to the system.

This paper presents an active use of doubly-fed induction-generator(DFIG)-based variable-speed wind-turbine for voltage control in power system operation. For reasonable simulation studies, a detail dynamic model of a DFIG-based wind-turbine grid-connected system is presented. For the research objective, an innovative reactive power control scheme is proposed that manipulates dynamically the reactive power from the voltage source converter(VSC) with taking into account its operating state and limits.

The main cause of degradation in an unbalanced stand-alone doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) system is negative sequence components that exist in the generated stator voltages. To eliminate these components, a hybrid current controller composed of a proportional-integral controller and a resonant regulator is developed in this paper. The proposed controller is applied to the rotor-side converter of a DFIG system for the purpose of compensating the negative stator voltage sequences. The proposed current controller is implemented in a single positive rotating reference frame and therefore the controller can directly regulate both the positive and negative sequence components without the need for sequential decomposition of the measured rotor currents. In terms of compensation capability and accuracy, simulations and experimental results demonstrated the excellent performance of the proposed control method when compared to conventional vector control schemes.

This paper presents an effective rotor current controller for variable-speed stand-alone doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) systems feeding an unbalanced three-phase load. The proposed current controller is developed based on proportional plus two resonant regulators, which are tuned at the positive and negative slip frequencies and implemented in the rotor reference frame without decomposing the positive and negative sequence components of the measured rotor current. In addition, the behavior of the proposed controller is examined in terms of control performance and stability with respect to rotor speed variations, i.e., slip frequency variations. Simulations and experimental results are shown to validate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed control method.

본 논문은 이중여자 발전기를 사용하는 풍력발전기에서 안정적인 계통투입을 위한 계통연계 전 후 발전기의 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 전류제어기 이득 값 선정에 대하여 연구하였다. DFIG(Doubly Fed Induction Generator)방식을 이용하는 풍력발전기는 회전자 전류제어를 함으로써 고정자의 전압을 제어하고, 제어된 고정자 전압은 계통과 연결된다. 특히 회전자 전류제어기 성능은 LVRT(Low Voltage Ride Through)등 예상하지 않은 외란에 대하여 빠른 응답성을 필요로 한다. 그러나 발전기가 계통과 연계되는 순간 발전기의 내부 파라미터 값의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 계통 투입 전 발전기 파라미터에 근거한 RSC(Rotor Side Converter)측 전류제어기 이득 값에 영향을 미쳐, 전류제어가 불안정하게 하는 원인이 되거나, 전류제어 응답성을 낮추게 하는 요인이 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 계통투입 전 후의 RSC측 전류제어기의 이득 값을 달리하여 안정적인 계통 투입이 가능하도록 하는 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션과 실험으로 증명하였다.

This paper compares two instantaneous reactive power definitions in DFIG wind turbine with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter under unbalanced grid conditions. In general, conventional definition of instantaneous reactive power is obtained by taking an imaginary component of complex power. The other definition of instantaneous reactive power can be developed based on a set of voltages lagging the grid input voltages by 90 degree. A complex quantity referred as a quadrature complex power is defined. Proposed definition of instantaneous reactive power is derived by taking a real component of quadrature complex power. The characteristics of two instantaneous reactive power definitions are compared using the ripple-free stator active power control algorithm in DFIG. Instantaneous reactive power definition based on quadrature complex power has a simpler current reference calculation control block. Ripple of instantaneous active and reactive power has the same magnitude unlike in conventional definition under grid unbalance. Comparison results of two instantaneous reactive power definitions are verified through simulation.

This paper proposes a control strategy of total output power ripple cancellation for both of Machine-Side Converter (MSC) and Grid-Side Converter (GSC) in a DFIG under unbalanced grid conditions. The proposed control strategy for the MSC is the zero torque ripple control algorithm with an enhanced LVRT capability. The control algorithm for the MSC exhibits reduced torque pulsation in steady-state unbalanced grid conditions. In addition, this control algorithm also minimizes a peak value of rotor current in transient unbalanced grid conditions. The total output power ripple cancellation control algorithm is adopted in the GSC. The total output power ripple cancellation is achieved by nullifying the oscillating component of the total output active and reactive power at the summing point of stator and rotor of DFIG. The proposed control strategy for the GSC reduces the output power oscillation leading to the improved quality of wind farms output.

전 세계적으로 지구 온난화와 화석연료 고갈로 재생 에너지의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 풍력발전은 전체 재생 에너지의 20% 이상을 차지하며, 2020년 까지 792 GW가 설치될 것으로 전망하고 있다. DFIG(이중여자 유도 발전기)타입의 풍력 터빈은 전력변환장치의 용량이 작은 장점이 있지만, 고정자 권선이 계통과 연결되어 계통 저전압 발생 시 제어가 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 계통 저전압 발생 시 고정자 회로의 과도상태에 대해 정리하고, 과도상태를 개선하기 위한 회전자 전류 주입 방법 대해 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

A robust controller is designed based on feedback linearization and sliding mode control to damp sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power plants (WPPs) interfaced with the grid. A feedback-linearized sliding mode controller (FLSMC) is developed for the rotor-side converter (RSC) through feedback linearization, design of the sliding mode controller, and parameter tuning with the use of particle swarm optimization. A series-compensated 100-MW DFIG WPP is adopted in simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of the designed FLSMC at different compensation degrees and wind speeds. The performance of the designed controller in damping SSCI is compared with proportional-integral controller and conventional sub-synchronous resonance damping controller. Besides the better damping capability, the proposed FLSMC enhances robustness of the system under parameter variations.
